Not at all. The worst thing now would be if we all fall for our proven failures, like Kelly, bucking up their ideas for these four games and then ending up relying on them again, and being disappointed again, next season. Warne still needs a clean slate. These twats may be staying up (was never really in doubt, somehow) but this is still the worst ever MK squad BY FAR and it needs to be cast into the abyss.

The worst thing is another season of high squad turnover

There may be players that have underperformed but are exactly the type of player Warne likes and can get the best of. If those players are already here, keep them.

Some of the players will be moved on, of that there is no doubt.

But, but….. we have been told all season that these players can only play one way and the system couldn’t change because of that.

It’s not been pretty but within two games that nonsense has been shown not to be the case.

So now I’m not sure who I think will stay and who won’t. So well done to Warne and his team, priority one achieved and done in their way.

Based on Camdenite's Squad list, these are the players, not including loans, that are supposedly out of contract this summer.

Connal Trueman
Craig MacGillivray
Nathan Harness
Ronnie Sandford
Dean Lewington
Phoenix Scholtz
Jack Tucker
Joel Anker
Jonathan Leko
Ellis Harrison

Red, for me, are the ones 100% leaving without an offer. That tells me that there's a lot of this squad that will be difficult to shift, because I really don't expect a lot of paying up contracts.

Agreed . We have a spine worth keeping / building on based on last two games under Warne style.

Keep the goalie if we can
Sanders/ Offord/ Thomson . The former looks fantastic in this team.
Evans in midfield with Crowley. I am still not convinced by Kelly.

We will need players everywhere else, most notably wide and up front. But that spine is a good starting point for us next season in this style.

There's talk of them playing and trying extra hard to impress the new manager. Just a shame that they couldn't adopt that mindset for the sake of the fans and the club prior to Warne's arrival.

I agree with your list. We have to hope that clubs will come in for a lot of our players currently under contract that we don't want. They don't need to be sold for a fee so a mutual termination or just a zero fee transfer. Some difficult conversations with agents coming up in the next few weeks.
The kids don't count for me because they can go out on loan to see if they improve enough to make it.

We need more than 4 players so moving bodies on is the key. We can't just keep adding more and more players to a bloated squad.

Keep:
MacGillivray
Offord
Maguire
Sanders
Evans
Hogan
Thompson
Tomlinson
Gilbey

Release:
Tucker
Harrison

Sell/Loan:
KTS
Sherring
Williams
Trip
Waller


Undecided:
Kelly
Leko
Crowley
Hendry
Nemane
Trueman

The only loan player I'd have back would be White.

I'm sure the 'Undecided' section will raise some eyebrows. These are players that I rate and would be happy if they stayed, but also wouldn't be disappointed if they left. Would be really sad to see Leko go, but over his time here, he is a player that has frustrated us, but he is exciting nonetheless.

Crowley I really just don't care much about. I think he is a fantastic player and the best opposition player I've seen us play, but with rumour attitude problems and if he isn't Warne's type of player, then I'd be not too fussed to see him leave but equally, happy to see him stay if Warne likes him.

Looks like Joel anker is with Watford academy atm.

Then there's another I expect to go.

I expect us to be ruthless where we can, but not stupid. This team does need a reset we just can't spend an absolute fortune paying up contracts left, right and centre.
